General Instructions:
This is an integrated workshop in which each session is intimately tied to the next. Missing even a single session will create a problem in understanding the workshop.
The workshop willl run in a dialogue mode rather that in a (one-sided) lecture mode. Depending on the discussions held and the need of the group, there can be deviations from the above program schedule.
Everyday there are five sessions: three sessions to cover new material (through dialogue mode), one session for group discusssions, and another session for activities.
